Adding a Stylish Feedburner Email Form Below Blog Posts

To increase the number of your blog readers and subscribers, there’s need to include an email form somewhere in your blog layout. One of the most strategic positions that’s been proven to be effective is right under your blog posts. Including a styled feeedburner email subscription form along with social media buttons can go a long way in increasing the number of your feed subscribers. Apart from this, this widget can increase your facebook fans and twitter followers. I also included a Google+ button to make your blog readers add you to their circles easily.

Below is how the widget should look like after adding it below your posts:

Before proceeding, you must have burnt your feed with feedburner and have the url ready. If you haven’t, register for feedburner with your google account and follow these steps:

1. Log in to feedburner and on the start page, burn your feed. If you’re on Blogger, your feed address should be http://your-site.com/feeds/posts/default and if you’re on WordPress, it’s http://your-site.com/feed

2. On the next page, configure the feed, give it your desired name and note the address. Follow the next couple of steps to activate the feed.

Save your template and view your blog to see the new email subscription form below your blog posts.

Things to change in the code:

http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=doncaprio – You should replace this with your feedburner email subscription link. To get this, log in to feedburner, click on your feed. Then go to Publicize > Email Subscription. Activate and get the email subscription link under Subscription Link Code.

doncaprio – Replace this with your feed title. You should also see this at the end of your subscription link url. Mine is doncaprio as seen in this link: http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=doncaprio

Thanks Don. I’ve implemented it and its very nice. I’m having a problem and that’s how to burn feed. dont know how to get to the Feed burner site. Used the one you provided but it didn’t take me anywhere.

Pls don,how do i make an image to align to the center automatically when some one click on the post to read.when i visit ur site,i will see the caption image on the home page,but when i click to read the post,the image will be on the center after some words.pls how do i do that on blogspot.reply pls.

I’m using WordPress, Amiya. And even on blogger, there’s no way to automatically center image in posts if you didn’t choose the image layout right from the moment you write the post. The images are centered due to the post layout I use here. But if you need to make the posts arrange as shown on the homepage, you can check this post – How To Add Automatic Post Summary For Blogger

Bro.. Kindly check out my post on “How To Add Stylish Feedburner Email Form Below Blog Posts”. It is not same as your post and not the same with style. I changed it now. http://www.lifebeyondlimits.info/2012/05/how-to-add-stylish-feedburner-email.html JayRyan’sBlog was inviting you to be a Guest Post Author.. Thank you so much. -jayryan09-

Hi found your site and really like and have tried several times to do it but it’s not working. I have checked and checked to make sure I’ve typed things identically but still not working? Any advice? Thanks Kate

Hello Don, I love the styling you used. I decided to move from Mailchimp RSS to feedburner and have been looking for a quick tip like this. But it doesn’t work on my WordPress site. Any idea why? The images and all don’t show. Its not up now though, had to remove it.

Hey don can you tell me why i am not seeing the comment box in every post. See the recent post about facebook account delete i could not comment there. Please tell me the answer as i always try to read most of your post.

Hi Don, I’m browsing through this blog and your old Blogspot blog and I’m finding very useful information. But I’m wondering how to add a MailChimp form? Actually I’m writing an eBook which I wish to give away for free in exchange of people’s emails. So I want to add an email opt-in form at the end of every post along with a picture of the cover page of the book. Possible?

Actually I tried what you said and it worked. Thanks! But I still have a problem. Adding the code this way is showing the form even when the post is displayed in the “shrinked” form on the home page. I mean I use “Click here to read more” links in my posts and I want the form to appear only when the complete page of a blog post is opened, not when all the posts are displayed on the home page. I mean I want the form to appear as it appears on YOUR Blogger blog.

Hi Don, It worked fine a few days back when I posted the above comment. Then I removed the code as I thought I’ll use it after a few days. But now when I’m trying to do that, it isn’t working. When I hit the “Preview” button after adding the code it says: “Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure that all XML elements are closed properly. XML error message: Attribute name “novalidate” associated with an element type “form” must be followed by the ‘ = ‘ character. Error 500″ Though the same code is working when I place it in my side bar. The form appears there. But not when I place it after in my template. What went wrong? I must add it’s not just a HTML code, but it also has some JAVA and CSS.

Your widget is very nice, but when the form is used from within the body of the template, like below each post, the feed burner form doesn’t load. Instead the page just refreshes. Is there any way to get the feed burner form to correctly load ? Please see http://lastingrose.blogspot.co… I have the same trouble with many others I tried including the one I have there now which works fine as a widget at the top. Can you suggest what may be wrong. There are of course a few other stuff on the page like FB comments etc but I find no reason . Many thanks.

Hello Don, Many thanks for looking up. The code I have there is exactly same as yours which also did not load the pop up when embedded in the body of the template. It works from a seperate widget though like te one at the top of the page. Here is the code

Yes Don Of course, the top one is a widget and it works. A new widget on the right border of the page I added today also works. But the one embedded at the bottom of post only (not on home page) doesn’t work.

email subscription widget is necessary for the loyal traffic , it is also important from the perspective of search engine optimization.your widget is auxiliary and behaving correctly at work.as we know a blog is known by the number of its subscribers and loyal traffic.well you got one more subscriber and it is me.nice work keep it up.

Bro, I want to make the email Subsciption box to be little wider, it looks ugly as my post area is has more width than this widget. By the way I liked your Subscription box that you have used in your blog, Can you give me code?
